Homework Statement
Use the semi-empirical mass formula to show that when an even-even nucleus of large Z undergoes fission into two identical odd-even fragments energy will be liberated provided that the approximate condition:
c1(A) + c2(Z²) + C3(A)^-5/12 > 0
is satisfied and give values for the constants c1, c2 and c3.
